Must be able to take-off, operate, and land in 17kts (19.5 mph) winds. Don't if I can, but I'm not flying in 17kt winds.

Now we're getting somewhere. So right now the transmitter is configured that Gear is designated as a mix channel. From the Device Output screen, Select Gear. Where is says MIX, change that to the switch you want to operate the flight mode (I suggest a 3 position switch). Right now is sounds like...

Aux 1 is identified as "Gear" on the Devo10

Sounds like hosed motors. Or you have debris in the motors. The clearance between the PMs and the coils is pretty tight. Debris could be binding the motors. How well do they turn by hand and can you feel a difference between the motors that work well and the ones that don't? If it's just debris...

That because of yoru travel limits. Sounds it's switching from GPS/Manual/Failsafe.

I bought my 3110-15s from Addictive RC. John has been very good to deal with.

I started with the hobby king rebranded Apache. Seemed nice. Failed after 20 minutes and returned for a refund minus restocking. Now using the Feiyu Hornet. What I liked about the Apache was that you could calibrate both voltage and current sensor(s). The Feiyu does not allow you to calibrate...

While the batteries may be capable of charging at 8C, I think most recommend a slower charge rate to lengthen battery life. I typically charge at 2C and carry 3 sets of batteries for flight. You are correct that 8C on a 5000mah battery would be 40 amps. charging 2 at the same time at 8C would...

My MC is located at center CG so my position data for the MC is 0,0,0. My GPS is mounted on the supplied pole and attached to the forward right screw set used to mount the top plate. I measure the positon to be -9, 8, 0 cm from the MC. The Naza Assistant asks for the distances in centimeters...

2800 more mah with the 2 2s in series, but you would have no redundancy. With the batteries in series, if one goes out, down you come.

It may help you to understand the C ratings for LIPO batteries. There are better sources to get the details but here's the basics: There are 3 primary specifications to the LIPO packs. The first determines the number of cells in series. Each cell has a range from 2.7v (fully discharged) to...

For screens, I went with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SLDF7O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're not hi-def but neither are my feeds. I use two. One with a FPV camera with the hornet OSD for pilot fed via 900khz 800mw...

meaning?......

THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!!!! Can I reverse thrust by flipping the prop?
